Capri is a small Italian island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, just off the Sorrento Peninsula near Naples in the southern region of Campania.

Quick Scoop: Where is Capri?

  • Capri sits in the Bay of Naples, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples.
  • It belongs to the Campania region, the same region as Naples and the Amalfi Coast.
  • The island lies only a few kilometers off the Sorrentine Peninsula, across the water from the town of Sorrento.
  • Administratively, Capri is part of the Metropolitan City of Naples in southern Italy.

If you imagine a map of Italy as a boot, Capri is near the “ankle,” off the southwestern coast, facing the Bay of Naples.
